I felt a part of my soul drift away when I saw an ex-coworker put a for loop in a yaml file. Joe Beda (Heptio) talks about the problem here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_rxPPLG8pU&t=2960s

Just use Python (or Lua if you want something simpler/lighter). Or, like Brigade, even JS. Hell, use BASIC. But these bizarre template-language-DSL bastardizations are horrific when it comes to maintainability. Incremental evolution from a config file to a full language is a path wrought with peril, and only ends in damnation!
